Flatlining

Mister Smitty has to have face time with the floor.

“The Smee is an Olympic contender when it comes to flattening himself out along the floor,” said one of those Misters (undetermined at press time) [Granpa, what did “press time” mean? – ed.]

The Smitty has the uncanny ability to lay so flat -- to get his neck so flat to the ground -- that there is an unbroken line of contact from nose to tail. Front paws are folded over to aid in the flattening.

“Mister, the world is flat; and The Smee is down with that flatness.”

“Mister, he’s on the flat-low.”
